At least five storage/organizing items, located between 15"-48" above the finished floor (or extending into that area), should be included in the kitchen to improve functionality and accessibility. These items may include, but are not limited to: lowered wall cabinets, raised base cabinets, tall cabinets, appliance garages, bins/racks, swing-out pantries, interior vertical dividers, specialized drawers/shelves, etc. Full-extension drawers/roll-out shelves greater than the 120" minimum for small kitchens or 165" for larger kitchens, may also be included.
